Our story

A.Q TRADERS started in 1964 and has served Karachi’s industry ever since, from our shop in State Life Building No. 4 on Shahrah-e-Liaquat, Saddar. Over the decades, factories, contractors, workshops and maintenance teams have come to us for materials they can rely on, supplied quickly and at a fair rate.

Today we manufacture and import our own rubber sheets, including neoprene, SBR, nitrile, EPDM, silicone and silicone foam, along with certified electrical rubber mats. We import our insulation directly: rubber foam, glass wool, rock wool and ceramic wool, plus 100% wool felt sheet (namda). Because we make and import what we sell, there are no middlemen between you and the material, so you get consistent quality at competitive rates.
